Views of Sandusky Library from 1973

This picture was taken in the adult section of the Sandusky Library in 1973. It appeared on page 33 of a booklet produced for the Sandusky Area Chamber of Commerce. At the bottom of the picture above, you can see the 3 x 5 inch file cards which were still used then for patron records and circulation of books and magazines. Of course now all those records have been computerized. Fiction books lined the shelves along the back wall. Carousels containing paperback books were located adjacent to the study tables. The director’s office was then up the stairs in the back corner of this room. This room is now part of the Children’s Services area of the Sandusky Library. Below, two youngsters are browsing in the children’s non-fiction books. Their clothing definitely is from the 1970s.

The room where the young people are browsing for books is now a part of the Baby Garden in the Children’s Services section of the Sandusky Library.
